"Time is getting short and I can't stand to leave her here!" - Soldier dad of rescued puppy Queen Anne.

While out on patrol, a young soldier found a puppy whose mother had been killed by locals in Syrian village...and the soldier was compelled to save her. Naming her Queen Anne, they quickly became inseparable and now he desperately wants to take her home with him. Help our deployed soldiers rescue, care, and transport rescued free roaming dogs and cats — like Queen Anne (above) who wants to make it out of Syria and join his soldier dad in the U.S.

In Afghanistan and Syria it is common for dogs and cats to suffer from abuse and neglect. Many animals are free roaming with no families to turn to for help. If an animal is lucky enough to find its way to a U.S. base and is befriended by the soldiers, then the base becomes the animals' home and finds love for the first time in its life. Puppy Rescue Mission (PRM) helps these animals as it would be devastating to turn them back out into the wild when many have never known a different way of life.

In the words of PRM founder, "No soldier should ever be faced with the decision of leaving their beloved animal behind." These companions make our soldiers lives better. Their unconditional love is critical to the morale of our troops. In return, our soldiers want to save their companions from the dangers of neglect and cruelty and transfer the dogs and/or cats back home to safety to live in their loving homes.

PRM responds to soldiers requests for help by transporting their animal companions. Costs constantly change as a result of working in a war zone, in a third-world country, and at a great distance. Any dog or cat has to have a thorough medical exam, vaccinations, and a health certificate to be able to transport. Each animal also has to have a kennel or crate to transport them safely while flying. With your help we can get rescued animals that have only known abuse and neglect to safe and loving military homes!

You can help! Just a donation of $10 helps prove veterinary and transport needs of an adoptable animal being sent to a veteran for adoption.

Make your donation of $5 or more an ongoing gift by checking the "Make this a Monthly Gift" box before adding it to your cart, to help deployed soldiers save animals each and every month.

Update from the Field
July 2017

Aru was rescued by an Apache Pilot with the Army. "She came into our lives in Mazar-I-Sharif as only a small puppy. Her energetic and loving personality took us all by surprise and we instantly fell in love with her. Aru was in rough shape at the time with hip problems and scars all over her face but that didn't bring her down. That is, after all, how she got her name Aru, which means "to live." She has brought every Soldier who has come in contact with her instant joy. In a place and time where there is little happiness she has brought smiles to us all. I knew I had to find a way to get her home to the US so that she no longer had to live as a stray in an orchard, uncertain about her future. She is a young precious pup with lots of love to give. She has had a hard life in Afghanistan so far and I can't wait to give her the life she deserves in Washington State in loving and thankful home! She has greatly imprinted herself on my heart and I can't wait to be reunited with her on US soil."

Puppy Rescue Mission, Inc.
